[000:00:00;00] was was . egyptian tanks back on karla's street today on the moves in to protect the presidential palace after fierce clashes between pro and anti waltzing protesters believe that things like today. israel's prime minister looks for reassurance during a visit to germany as other new allies get tough for the palestinian statehood and to be the settlement buildings. and cheap labor behind america's prison walls with big business with an appetite for profits being fat but longer jail terms and

the biggest population of inmates in the world. twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is our team. has deployed tanks near the presidential palace where overnight clashes between rival protesters level at least five dade and hundreds injured supporters and opponents of president morsi continued fighting each other well into early morning until the military moved in to come the battle the violence was the worst in the latest wave of protests that started two weeks ago when president morsy assumed a near absolute poem. reporter bell drew is on top of square for us and while it is tom watson is following developments outside the presidential palace. what number of tahrir square were scenes a there have been. on the square here behind me we're seeing violence in other cities like

a series of the year in particular the headquarters of the muslim brotherhoods have been attacked during these clashes between rival protest groups following mostly power grab that gratian we. he would himself sweeping powers and of course the constitution which is being put to referendum supposedly next week which are many of the opposition groups sees it just in this in addition there's been some reaction from his aides several members of the presidential committee have quit in protest of of this inside the presidential palace basically we've seen very violent scenes overnight my colleague tom barton was that reporting from the scene we're about as close as we can get to the fighting here in central cairo right near the presidential palace if you. listen in brotherhood supporters up there is pelting firestone's to i'm sorry morsy persisters here who are giving as much stones back to the crowds are flowing to and fro injuries are being carried by in their stores

with head wounds and other wounds from the flying stones moments of cat tails are being thrown the buildings where they set your alarm set on the fact that someone is an immensely violent situation now having just sended from earlier in the day when the person who is the supporters arrived at the un she must see a protest as can dismantle it and attacks them it's now descended into running battles you can see some of the stones being thrown there this is the result was today was a question that wasn't the kind statement was on the streets. lawrence k. freemen from executive intelligence review magazine says the way the arab spring played out for egypt the current turmoil. and what we started as the arab spring almost two years ago in two thousand and eleven has somewhat been hijacked by which to my core combination of the muslim brotherhood in and salafist networks

and so now people are seen that it appears that president morsi and the muslim brotherhood i'm moving more and more who are consolidating their political control and the population is not accepting it and the demands and dreams of the aspirations of the arab spring from january two thousand and eleven have not been met and the backing by a president obama of president morsi has also been a serious deficiency and so the people are left with nothing but to demonstrate and to try to stop where appears to be a dictatorship or least a consolidation of power by the muslim brotherhood. conflicting reports about syria's chemical weapons create the fear in the media headlines the way they look at nerve agent rumors racing through the western news outlets just as officials in washington say military options for syria the consideration.

germany and israel have disagreed over the issue of jewish settlements on palestinian land chancellor merkel stop short of condemning israeli actions actions which have left her european partners furious israel is facing increasing isolation on the continent after it announced plans to build three thousand homes on occupied palestinian territories germany criticized the move forward didn't join other in these days when called in israeli ambassadors to condemn it relations between the two have been specially tense up to germany abstained from a u.n. vote which upgraded palestinian state is in the organization for wonders on the story i'm joined by german journalist money well let's and writer. good afternoon to you now germany abstained from the un verge on palestinian statehood but it didn't go as far as other e.u. states who called in israel embassadors to protest against the settlement plan how

do you describe berlin's approach to israel at this stage. well first of all as you already mentioned in your question germany spain from the u.n. vote germany didn't vote for the palestinian cause which is in a pretty good. use for a vote so first of all germany of spain germany didn't turn its back against. the protests from german politicians against the settlement politics right now are in my opinion more or less symbolic because they are telling the protesters they are not defined or noticing that this is a violation of the peace plan off the middle east but we will have to wait until the end of the baby if this political shit big if it's really culprit if this protest follows a political action we have to see the difference of our protests and that this

political action to be honest i don't think that there will be any political action coming out of the order of protests. now israel is facing increasing isolation in europe there's been talk all possible essentials of tel aviv doesn't back down and settlement decisions do you expect this kind of pressure from here oh ben what's on the what germany take sanction is all on the table. this is a really interesting question because we see here a coalition or reason or states of germany we see at the one side germany you as a country within the european union you know that germany is doing everything for the benefit of the european union and on the other side we see the special relationship snowboards you see and so in the hospital possible conflict because you're always what's at the side of the west coast at the side of his friend so now we see two different reasons of state. in our coalition and by the way

maybe you're not the growth reason or states are not the reason or stave off what exists on do. i mean the order of the benefit of the german people so it will be interesting i don't think that germany go right now with this government or with this political power if you look at if you want to go so far to turn expect towards you or to pull back for example ambassadors or to send them business all over or in any threat of sanctions sports you throw as i said in my answer before i think we witness now all of the protests with no political shake coming out of this this is so that my question would be why is then israel so provocative in its decisions i made and there's a lot of growing international isolation to that in what they decided to do with the settlements does countries like germany feel that because they you know they never turned its back on it that they can do whatever they want to do. well if they can velocity kates we see that you throw in

a really was hampered by the west i don't know how many you will receive where against these throw and khomeini sanctions that you throw there or resolutions you throw to really follow so all again the same thing there are protests about these protests almost never know what real political actions and i think it's really a story of much use to because he's frail can rely a lot on germany because we have that in the political party you said in germany we have a very strong growing israeli lobby i don't mean that germany expects again it's the same answer actions i can give you on this question i don't think it's right and it's isolate that because again the countries abstained i think just one european congress because well czech republic was rooting. against the palestinian cause so it is more or less and he would point out what pin it mean it can mean

a slow change of european politics towards you sort of couldn't be included also mean a special this. actual relationship that germany and israel have as engler merkel's admitted today that they'll stay behind israel is it about is it more about economics don standing together always or just a friendship based on memories of the holocaust well this is friendship this so-called friendship or is not really a friendship it's more space on the possible with two countries or two people when we see you when you mention but you can only point to a few words really interesting because you see on the one side that germany puts a lot of economic power of our taxpayers' money into parking you through i charles you're a member of the six vote. summary of the summer games we are delivering to you sorry where there has to present so on this whole business was covered with german taxpayers money i think it was our own nine hundred million euros so and despite and we are supporting and we are supporting israel with

a lot of other groups also with boards on the other side germany also carries out the consequences of the war so he sort of saw for example now in germany it's estimated that one hundred fifty thousand palestinians who used to differ before in palestine matter. and right i'm going to have to leave it right they have just run out of time which we had more time with you thank you very much jim in jenin is a metal box and. thank you so much. right palestinian statehood and condemnation of israel's new settlements drive a wedge between berlin and tell of eve what european shelves are still being stocked with goods produced in areas by israel illegal lang grabs. and used cashing in on america's story in prison population we explore the cheap labor market remain behind bars. unnamed u.s. officials are reportedly suggesting the syrian military is preparing to use

chemical weapons against rebels and is awaiting final orders from president assad those quotes in the american media come as washington says that that would be a reason to intervene and as artie's middle east correspondent policy reports the growing frenzy around. may not be a coincidence. these rumors are verified as of yet they are just allegations what they do suggest is that syria's military has been mixing chemical weapons and loading them into bombs the allegations suggest that the syrian president bashar assad is reportedly planning to use these on his own people now the reports say that syrian forces has been unloading bombs with components of salman gas which is a deadly nerve gas and that they have sixty days in which they can use these bombs until the chemical mixture expires and has to be destroyed this comes as the u.s. military is making contingency plans should the syrian president bashar assad suddenly leave with the u.s.

sources saying that they are aware that assad has received numerous asylum offers at the same time the united states has reportedly deployed the u.s. eisenhower's start strike group which went through the suez canal from the persian gulf over the weekend and we understand according to reports that it is making its way to the syrian coast and it has been throughout this week now on board on eight fighter bomber squadrons of the seven at the same time there are eight thousand sailors airmen and marines and joins the u.s. i were just after amphibious ready group which already carries some two and a half thousand marines now what this does indicate this latest development is that the united states now stands ready for direct military intervention in the syrian conflict so the that is what we're hearing from various sources and various commentators who have been following the story closely what it also indicates is

that increasingly we are hearing from all quarters on the global community the idea that intervention in syria could be an option i just want to remind you that when we saw foreign intervention in iraq at that stage it was only allegations that the country had chemical that the country had weaponry that the country had the capability of carrying out what with that time was called weapons of mass destruction destruction and on those allegations alone there was foreign intervention so certainly the eyebrows are being raised in the international community as to whether or not we're going to see intervention here in syria. well back with more news in just. a forty nine year old southern california man was thrown in prison and charged with

possessing materials to make explosive device all because of his rather unusual wristwatch despite the bomb squad saying that his watch was not a weapon he read it custody for twenty four hours and was charged with the crime anyways a spokesman for the el meter county sheriff's department said that the man's watch had all the components to make an improvised explosive device minus the explosive material you know having a lighter in your pocket is also everything you need to self exposure minus the gun powder but before we make a victim out of this watch where i have to point out one thing the watch was wearing was designed to look like some sort of bomb with fuses and wires and switches so who's more idiotic someone who wears a device that looks like a bomb on an airplane or a government who convict someone for having the components of a bomb without that bit of the bomb that makes

a blow up i'd say both are pretty dumb but that's just my opinion. both to the. audience technology innovation all the ways developments from around russia we've got the future covered. machines would be so much brighter if you knew me a song from science to see. me stumped on t.v. don't come. here

was energy live from moscow one area of america's economy which is thriving is its prisons that packed to the rafters with criminals who make up a very lucrative and cheap labor force and allergies that is huge again explains businessmen spend millions to keep it that way. in the us the market for cheap labor is booming behind bars in the last fifteen years partnership between prisons and private manufacturers has increased significantly there are becoming america's very own chinese style manufacturing line behind prison walls prisons in fact advertise themselves as such as an alternative to outsourcing cheap labor to china or elsewhere on the web we came across this pitch that prisons prepared to persuade private sector companies to come and do business with them take a look. there is not enough folks that will do this type of work in this country so therefore we're bringing bringing back this industry that is actually has been

going out of this country and we're putting it you know inside the walls and it's it's absolutely a perfect idea. i have a workforce that does not have car problems or babysitting arms etc there are always here and there are always going to come to learn. your business or leave a wide variety of industries take advantage of prison labor among many other things prisoners make clothing textiles electronics furniture and even solar panels hundreds of companies have used prison labor directly or through subcontractors including microsoft boeing starbucks victoria's secret and others by federal taxpayer. compensated up to forty percent of the way to. reduce tax payers to how the need to provide medical care and everything. work in prison is mandatory and the choice many inmates have is whether to work for

a government run prison industry for less than a dollar an hour or private one for a minimum wage or for around six dollars a unit cory's a government owned corporation that uses prison labor to produce all kinds of goods mainly for other government agencies one hundred seventy five different types of products and services you see the variety listed on their. web site they to partner up with private firms now last year unicorn's revenue nine hundred million dollars as far as private prisons are concerned two of the country's biggest prison corporations made three point three billion dollars last year alone private prisons are created in the new york stock exchange they are for profit companies and the savings that they reap from using inmate labor. go to their bottom line it's money they otherwise don't have to spend in order to keep. large prison populations and harsh sentences result in greater profits america's three major private prison

companies spend around forty five million dollars over the past ten years on lobbying state and federal governments for supporting immigrant detention mandatory minimum sentences three strikes laws and other legislative measures that contribute to the growth of america's gigantic prison population one can argue about the many causes and effects of america's skyrocketing incarceration rate but since prisons became a for profit industry in the u.s. thirty years ago the number of prisoners has gone up dramatically not to say that it was the only cause behind the spike but many argue with part of it and now with the cheap labor market expanding behind american bars one is wondering whether the justice system in the u.s. is adopting market values in washington i'm going to check on. on our website the cable company which wants to know you better much better tell them john falzon page in point quickly and that will be what you want to watch t.v.

on nuclear weapons this is not the fundamental issue it's something that the vast majority of the population is a great currently we are spending three billion pounds a year just on maintaining existing systems we know the government wants to spend a hundred billion pounds on replacing this weapons of mass destruction system what could count by britain that could buy incredible amounts of investment in really industrial development sustainable energy investment things that would really work to regenerate our economy yet the chancellor is tinkering around the edges our government needs to address these problems it's elected by the people to provide services for the people to make our country run properly it's not a government that's been elected to help the big corporations we have to see a change here. to some other international news now times involved which has been battering the philippines for the last few days has now claimed almost three
